I'd take Colin Murray before Mark Chapman everytime .He's witty ,cheeky ,amusing.Regularly puts questions to the pundits through the mind of a real football fan .i.e.he asks the pros what goes on behind the scenes that we never get to see or hear about .
Chapman -dull as dishwater , makes Adrian Chiles seem exciting .

read sumthin about sum of his guests were pissed off with him and i think hansen once sed 2 him 2 leave it to the experts, so maybe its sumthin 2 do with that!

Did the "experts" include Alan "you'll win nothing with kids" Hansen ?
20 years as a tv/radio pundit and that's all he's remembered for.

Can somebody tell me, if Bradford are in the Carling Cup final and face Chelsea and Chelsea win, Then chelsea finish 3rd in the league does that mean Bradford will be in the Europa league?

According to this report after the first leg, yes :

Of course, Uefa could step in with some reason why they aren't allowed to take the place, ground size or some nonsense, but in theory, yes the place would be theirs.

I remember portsmouth playing AC Milan so cant see Bradfords ground being any worse than Fratton park

It use to always be that you had to win the league cup to play in Europe, runners up didn't qualify under any circumstances but if it was the FA cup the runners up qualified for Europe if this happened.

I think if Bradford got in, doesn't it lower the English coalition for European competitions and could possibly effect the amount of teams that enter the Champions League and Europa League?

Two English sides have already been knocked out the Champions League as it.

if that was be the case (Bradford winning) I reckon one place would go to another country which possibly could be Scotland, my brother just emailed me to say that they are the first lower league club to reach a wembley final til i pointed out to him that QPR won the league cup in 1967 as a Third Division side (and we never were allowed to compete in Europe then if I remember!). I'm sure I'm right.

According to Metro Bayern Munich are tabelling a £40 million offer for Suarez and pair him with Falcao. Be madness for Liverpool to sell in this window. Can only guess it's the same mischievous paper talk that has United buying 3 goalkeepers, a defender, 5 midfielders and god alone knows how many strikers!

he will be guaranteed champions league football cos they will qualify for it. but he might get champions league football anyway, he might as well wait till end of season first! but i dont think he wants 2 go and i cant see liverpool wanting 2 sell him.
